Why your Wells griddle is burner not igniting
On a Wells griddle, burner not igniting usually announces itself like this: surface burner clicks but no flame, or no spark at all. Igniter, spark module, or gas valve. The usual culprit is loose igniter wiring. Left unaddressed, the kitchen loses a station it can't work around.
Most likely causes
- A weak spark electrode
- A faulty gas valve
- A dirty or wet igniter
- Failed spark module
Known Wells griddle weak points
- Ventless system filter loading and airflow faults tripping the unit
- Hot-well and griddle heating element and thermostat failures
- Drawer-warmer element and control failures
- Fryer auto-lift and thermostat malfunctions
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Start here — it costs nothing and rules out the easy cause: check whether other burners on the same unit ignite normally, which narrows the fault to one burner or the whole unit. Also, confirm the burner ports and igniter are dry and free of spilled food or debris. If none of that changes anything, a gas valve or spark module fault means working on live gas and ignition components, which is licensed work in most areas.
